A method for providing information in an information processing system , the method comprising:acquiring, via a network, biological gas information representing a concentration of dimethyl adipate of a user detected with a sensor for detecting dimethyl adipate released from a skin surface of the user;obtaining reference information representing an upper limit of a normal range of the concentration of dimethyl adipate per unit period of time, using a memory storing the reference information representing the upper limit of the normal range; andoutputting information related to stress of the user to an information terminal after it is determined that a frequency with which the concentration of the dimethyl adipate of the user per unit period of time is more than the upper limit of the normal range tends to increase, based on the biological gas information acquired in a pregnancy period of the user.2. The method according to claim 1 , whereinthe information including the upper limit of the normal range of the concentration of dimethyl adipate per the unit period ...

Information provision method, information processing system, information terminal, and information processing method

In order to objectively grasp a stress state of a user and to prevent postpartum depression, biological gas information is acquired via a network, where the biological gas information indicates a concentration of tetradecane of the user and is obtained by a sensor that detects tetradecane released from a skin surface of the user. From a memory storing information including an upper limit of a normal range of the concentration of tetradecane per unit period, the information indicating the upper limit of the normal range is read out. When a frequency in the unit period with which the concentration of tetradecane of the user exceeds the upper limit of the normal range is determined to have an increasing tendency based on the biological gas information obtained during a pregnancy period of the user, the information related to stress of the user is output to an information terminal of the user.
